Bernardo Winery

The Bernardo Winery, established in 1889 and family-owned and operated by the Rizzo family since 1927, is the oldest continuously family-owned and operated winery in Southern California. For three generations, the Rizzo family has been growing grapes and producing wine in the same Italian tradition, specializing in regional varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Merlot, and Zinfandel.

Come escape for the day and feel like you’ve been transported to an Old-World village.
